Where is everyone #5

Don't know if its just me but from my experience silicone heater hose is absolute dog####. Seems like I can never get it to seal. Never have a problem with regular heater hose.

 

Wow that’s impressive. I get a constant 5.8mpg without idling in my 12.7 detroit 379. I bet that truck is super light too.

Got my truck apart. Clutch spring gave out and is worn down heavily. I see prices of clutches have gone up $250 since last time.

 

Well I do drive purdy darn slow.. lol
And my mpg on oil consumption sucks at about 1200-1500 miles per gallon of oil. Depending how hard I've been pulling..


Full of fuel, but she only holds 200 gals.. She keeps getting fatter the more junk I hoard too.. lol. Used to be 29k on the button..

Day she came home

 

Your oil mileage is about 10x better than DEF mileage at least

 

Looks like a beautiful day to do some farmin

 

84 in y'alls lingo. Y'alls lingo is just exaggerated is all. Lol
Thanks bub

 

@jamespmack is correct with the hose clamps.
There is about 400' of it my yard between 6 units.
Have to use the correct clamps, and ensure no brrs... sometimes what happens is the inner layer gets ate into on the nipple, the coolant then seeps out between the inner and outer layers. If it was regular hose it would have been a major leak.
I tighten the clamps, run to operating temp, and retighten the clamps. Sometimes get the odd coold weather seep @-30. Quick snug fixes that.
When the tinworm takes these wagons back to earth, there will be blue silicone hose all over the place.
